2013 F150 3.5 EcoBoost 4 door 6 speed (no idea what gears I have) ARE topper, a DIY truck vault, on bfg all terrain stock size @ 48 +/- psi, around 70k..

1 month ago I had a 14.7 mpg average over 4000 miles

I was fed up with the fading performance so I media blasted the intake valves and replaced plugs and coils installed catch can.

NOW over 300 miles I average 19.7 miles per gallon..... love my truck again.

17' Silverado crew cab 5.5' bed, 5.3liter. 24,000 miles. Close to 18 back and forth to work. Can do 24 on the highway pretty easily if I keep it around 70. Lifetime of vehicle is mid 18's I believe. Truck is bone stock other than a toneu cover.
